All Will Be as It Should

I met a highland laddie
He was brave and he was smart
And before I could prevent it
He fairly won my heart
I wanted him to court me
And fiercely did he, so
Soon we loved so deeply
He swore he’d never go
Oh laddie I adore
I love you more and more
Than I ever thought I could
So meet me at the mill
And we’ll play as Jack and Jill
And all will be as it should
Then war come to our land and my laddie longed to fight
And wield a giant weapon
So off he went that night
I wonted for to marry first, and he left me a ring
But a ring is not a husband
So sadly I did sing
Oh laddie I adore
I love you more and more
Than I ever thought I could
So meet me at the glen
And we’ll play a cock and hen
And all will be as it should
I heard he had come home sick
With a girl from Sterling town
So I marched round to tell him it was time to settle down
No ring’s the thing I told him as a (?)'s got your eyes
He looked out at the both of us and much to my surprise said
Oh lassie I adore
I love you more and more
Than I ever thought I could
So meet me at our home
Never more to roam
And all will be as it should
And all will be as it should
